“Sustainability Leaders: HCL Nagpur and Firstgreen’s Journey to TRUE Platinum Certification”.

“HCL Nagpur’s Platinum level TRUE certification is a remarkable achievement that reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency, made possible by the expert guidance and support of the Firstgreen team.”

HCL Nagpur, a leading IT services company in India, recently achieved Platinum level TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) certification, becoming one of only five buildings globally to receive this prestigious certification. This success was made possible through the dedicated efforts of HCL Nagpur and the expert guidance and support of the Firstgreen team. The journey towards TRUE certification began when HCL Nagpur approached Firstgreen with a vision to become a zero-waste facility. Firstgreen conducted an initial assessment to identify areas where HCL Nagpur could improve its resource efficiency and waste reduction efforts. The team helped HCL Nagpur set a clear roadmap for achieving TRUE certification and provided them with the necessary tools and resources to implement sustainable practices. The TRUE certification process involves rigorous assessment of an organization’s resource management practices across multiple categories, including waste management, water efficiency, energy efficiency, and sustainable purchasing. HCL Nagpur had to demonstrate compliance with stringent criteria in each of these areas to achieve the Platinum level certification. Firstgreen worked closely with HCL Nagpur throughout the certification process, providing them with technical expertise, training, and support to help them meet the TRUE requirements. The team helped HCL Nagpur develop a comprehensive waste management plan, which included the installation of composting and recycling facilities and the establishment of a “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle” program to reduce waste generation. In addition to waste management, the Firstgreen team also helped HCL Nagpur implement water and energy efficiency measures, such as rainwater harvesting, low-flow fixtures, and energy-efficient lighting. The team also supported HCL Nagpur in sustainable purchasing practices, encouraging them to source products and materials from suppliers that meet sustainability standards. Through the joint efforts of HCL Nagpur and Firstgreen, HCL Nagpur achieved Platinum level TRUE certification with 67 points, a remarkable achievement that showcases HCL Nagpur’s commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency. In conclusion, the TRUE certification of HCL Nagpur is a testament to the dedication and hard work of both HCL Nagpur and the Firstgreen team. By working together, they have successfully implemented sustainable practices that have resulted in significant waste reduction, water and energy savings, and a more environmentally friendly workplace.
